Review summary

I cruise every year, and I've cruised on carnival before, but never have I experienced such a horrible time! It started with the airport transfer that I paid for, they had to find a bus to come and get us. On our when we disembark from the ship and board the bus to the airport, we were supposed to be taken to terminal A, They Took US To Terminal D, took our luggage off the bus and told us to walk, they didn't even let is out curbside, they put us out across the street, and the walk was at least a half mile with all of our luggage. The cruise ship didn't have a large variety , I might as well had stayed in San Juan, it appeared that this cruise was geared toward Spanish speaking gues5, only to find out at the airport that the cruise in gave a special price to residents in a food, basically the same food daily, even in the main dining rooms, the activities on the ship were boring and limited, and so many other passengers beside myself complained about it. Then when we reach St. Kitts and St. Maarten, there was a warning about mosquitos carrying disease, so of course I didn't get off to see the sights, too afraid of being attacked by mosw

I only enjoyed the comedy show the last night, and the musical. There weren't too many choices in activities, especially on the day at sea

The ship is old

Cabin / Stateroom

The carpet smelled old, and the refrigerator was filthy. My Steward was great! But the ship can use some remodeling updates.
